Why was Raghunatha Gosvami punished by the Avadhuta in Panihati where Gauranga came from South India tour?
JESUS IS GOD - Thank you for your nice God Conscious comment which I appreciate, but nonetheless your answer does not address the question directly though indirectly it hints at the point.

Something to do with Nitai as mentioned who asked touched his feet on the head of Raghunatha and empowered him to get the mercy of Gauranga in Neelachala. Eventually, Gauranga instructed his secretary Svarup Damodara to train Raghunatha and finally he reached Vrindavana to meet Rupa and sanatana.
Though coming from the most wealthy family, Raghunatha left everything and wanted to join the sankirtana movement of Sri Gauranga, but in his enthusiasm he directly wanted to meet Gauranga.
This was his mistake and was lovingly punished by Sri Nityananda Prabhu who told Raghunatha to feed all of his associated chipped rice and yogurt mixed with other fruits. Sri Nitai told Raghunath that being a thief he wanted to steal his property and therefore had to be punished. This is all fun with words. Raghunatha was the most richest person and there was no need for him to steal anything and as a punishment he was asked to feed his associates a very cheap item chipped rice and yogurt. This is all the uncommon activities of Nitai who is also called as avadhuta.
